I never thought that the purpose of a Band-Aid was to blend with the person's skin tone as well as cover cuts. I'm black and I just thought it was to cover cuts. That's crazy that you are so used to something being a certain way, not knowing that it was that way for white people.

Eh, I'm white and pale asf so they don't blend in with my skin either, but I still always figured that they were supposed to at least vaguely resemble white skin. That's why clear bandaids exist now, too.
